Do you view healing as something you are waiting for, or something you already possess? Discover how shifting your identity can unlock the wholeness Christ purchased for you.
The Context
In this pivotal installment of the REAL ID series, we return after a season of deep spiritual reflection to tackle the vital subject of biblical healing. Grounded in the truth of Isaiah 53, this message confronts the personal battles we face when physical circumstances contradict God's promises, urging us to look past the "flesh" and anchor ourselves in the finished work of the cross.
The Core Message
Many believers struggle with the concept of healing because they look to their physical symptoms for validation rather than the spiritual reality of God's Word. This message challenges the common misconception that we must "earn" healing through works or that God uses sickness to teach us lessons. Instead, we explore the profound truth that just as righteousness is a gift of grace received by faith, so too is our physical and spiritual wholeness. By examining the Greek word sozo—which encompasses salvation, deliverance, and healing—we see that Jesus paid the price for our total well-being.
The teaching emphasizes that faith is the "now" assurance of things hoped for. We learn to distinguish between "trying to get healed" and resting in the identity of "being healed." Through the examples of Abraham’s unwavering faith and the woman with the issue of blood, we are encouraged to renew our minds, cast down the "leaven" of doubt and false teaching, and stand fully convinced that the power that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us.
The Application
-
Renew Your Mind: Actively replace worldly thinking and medical reports with the truth of Scripture regarding your health.
-
Identify the Leaven: Recognize and reject false teachings, such as the idea that sickness comes from God or that Paul’s "thorn" was a physical illness.
-
Visualize Your Healing: Begin to see yourself walking in health before the physical manifestation appears.
-
Speak Your Identity: Stop saying "I am sick" and start declaring "I am healed" as your REAL ID in Christ.
-
Stand in Faith: Choose to believe the Word of God over your physical senses, knowing that faith is the evidence of spiritual reality.
